Quercus robur
The parent of this tree is the centuries old oak on the island of Chortitza near Zaparozhye, Ukraine, on the site of a Mennonite settlement dating from 1789. Acorns were gathered on the 1997 Mennonite Heritage Tour led by Harley Stucky and Oswald Goering. One of the resulting seedlings was planted on March 14, 2002, near this monument marking the centennial of the arrival of the Swiss Volbynian Mennonites in Kansas in 1874, and the establishment of the Hopefield Mennonite Church. Present at this planting were Delbert Goering, Jacob D. Goering, Victor Goering, Harly and Ruby Stucky and Arnold Wedel.| HM Number | HM12NI |
